Xen users - Jan 2008 - boot problems with 2.6.23.x on 64-bit dom0

Hello,

I''m trying to boot kernels from the 2.6.23.x line as paravirt domUs, 
64-bit xen-3.1.0 and xen-3.1.2 are used on the test boxes. xm create 
starts up the domU without any problems according to the logs, however, 
the started domU does not output anything apart from a single tab (if I 
start it with -c option ), and eats up 100% CPU. Config file of the domU 
is as follows:

---- CUT HERE ----
kernel = ''/home/wigyori/vmlinuz-2.6.23.13-xen''
#kernel = ''/home/wigyori/vmlinuz-2.6.23-1-xen-686''
memory = 512
name = ''pvlinux''
root = ''/dev/xvda1 ro''
extra = ''console=pvc0''
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/main/ssteszt,sda1,w'' ]
---- CUT HERE ----

The domU''s kernel has CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled, and is configured as
i386
arch with PAE enabled, no SMP. I''ve tried Debian''s
2.6.23-1-xen kernel
which was AFAIK reported to work, also 2.6.23.13 and 2.6.24-rc8 without 
any patches with no success. Can anyone shed some light on what I''m
missing?

Thanks in advance,
Zoltan HERPAI

I think this should be ''console=hvc0''

Cheers,

You''re right, thanks.

This threw up a kernel panic on 2.6.23.13 when timer init happened, but 
I''ll look after that now.
